We are pleased to announce that Local 2002 members at Porter Airlines – Groomers/Facilities Cleaners in Toronto have ratified their new collective agreement. Following the ratification meeting held on August 15, 2019, members voted  92 per cent in favour of the new agreement.  The new three-year agreement will be in place until May 26, 2022.

“I am pleased to have reached this fair agreement that includes wage increases, improvements to contract language, and benefits”, said Euila Leonard, President Unifor Local 2002. “I would like to thank the Bargaining Committee for their efforts in negotiating an agreement that benefits our members and provides security for the future.”

The new agreement includes wage increases for each of the three years (retroactive to the date of expiry), statutory holiday option, recall rights extended, improved Bereavement language, a reduction in the Sunset clause for discipline, and overnight parking at the Billy Bishop island airport. Unifor was also successful at negotiating stronger protections against harassment, discrimination, and bullying.

The Bargaining Committee would like to thank the members who took the time to attend the ratification meeting and ratified this collective agreement.  Please ensure that you have subscribed to Unifor 2002’s e-news service at www.unifor2002.org
